About Me

I’m a Principal Product Designer with 14+ years shaping complex enterprise platforms, internal tools, and consumer products, including work at Autodesk and Facebook (now Meta) alongside independent product and consulting work.

 

I help teams turn complex systems and AI-driven ideas into coherent products through product strategy, systems thinking, research, and end-to-end interaction design. I’m drawn to ambiguous problems, fragmented workflows, and products that need to feel both powerful and intuitive.

Recently, I designed and shipped HerNext end-to-end using Codex, combining agentic decision-making with transparent reasoning, human approval, and privacy controls.

Throughout my career, I’ve aligned cross-functional teams around shared product direction, key tradeoffs, and a clear quality bar—connecting user needs, technical constraints, and business goals.

Outside of design, I mentor emerging designers, write and speak about UX, and lead The AI Collective Tri-Valley chapter, where I bring together founders, builders, and the local community to make AI more accessible, practical, and human-centered.
